Each of the organization management centers includes means for receiving the shared environment management system by organization from the management company, means for inputting legal regulations, means for inputting an environmental influence evaluation table, means for receiving a result of checking legal regulation application items from each of the member companies, means for receiving a result of conducting environment management from each of the member companies, means for instructing each of the member companies based on results of collection and analysis, and means for interpreting application of new legal regulations, and for notifying the management company of application items of the new legal regulations and means for reviewing environmental influence evaluation items.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an environment managementsystem. More specifically, the present invention relates to a sharedenvironment management system built on a web site on the Internetaccording to each type of industry or each industrial organization(hereinafter referred to as “for the industrial organization”collectively).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] At the present day, environmental issues are important managementsubjects by which company management is unavoidably confronted.Domestically, legal regulations centered around the Basic EnvironmentLaw have been prepared to address the environmental issues. Globally,International Environment Management System Standards IS014001 have beenenacted and JIS standards corresponding to this standards are now beingprepared. The IS014001 standards consist of a cycle of PLAN, DO, CHECK,and ACTION and are intended to make continuous improvements in thecourse of this cycle. FIG. 1 illustrates an outline of IS014001 fromthis viewpoint.

[0003] Under these circumstances, to build an environment managementsystem based on the IS014001 standards is a pressing challenge for eachcompany. The environment management means the development of companyactivities while incorporating an environmental policy into a managementpolicy, making plans based on the environmental policy, and putting suchplans into practice. The purpose of environment management is tominimize any influence and risk on the environment caused by activities,products or services of each company and to continuously improveactivities to prevent the incident of any influence and risk on theenvironment.

[0004] The influence on the environment (hereinafter referred to as“environmental influence”) means changes in the environment caused bythe activities, products or services of an organization, such as acompany. It is necessary to distinguish an environmental influence thathas an impact particularly and greatly upon the environment and clarifymeasures and actions to prevent or minimize the incident of suchenvironmental influence. The environment management system means asystem that defines an organizational chart, a responsibility, abusiness practice, procedures, a process, and management resources, andthat is voluntarily created and operated at the organization'sdiscretion. The environment management system is a part of themanagement system for the entire organization of each company.

[0005] As for the environment management based on regulations, eachcountry established laws and regulations on the environment management,which it considered necessary to regulate. The laws and regulationsintend to set regulatory standards and mandates each company to observesuch standards. The environment management system (i) establishes aprogram so that each company voluntarily clarifies its management policyrelated to the environment; (ii) evaluates itself as to which aspects ofthe activities, products or services may effect the environment; (iii)sets a goal for managing environmental aspects that has a great impacton the environment; and (iv) prepares a program to reach the goal. Inthe environment management system, if such environmental program doesnot meet the goal, the company is required to take a remedial action toresolve problems. If the company cannot meet its goal because the systemdoes not work sufficiently, the company is required to improve thesystem. The company is also required to satisfy the standards so as tocomply with the regulatory standards.

[0006] If each company individually builds its environment managementsystem, it has to bear a time and cost including, but not limited to,the burden of internal personnel placement. For these reasons, there aremany companies that hesitate to build their own environment managementsystems. Further, even if a company builds its environment managementsystem, it is generally based on the individually created documents.Consequently, an industrial organization cannot grasp the content ofeach company's system on the industry level, and finds it difficult togive any instruction or guidance to the individual company. This makesit difficult to improve the level of environment management system forthe entire industry. Particularly, for small and medium companies, itmay become a serious management problem to build the environmentmanagement system, because the development of the system requires lotsof manpower, time and funds.

[0007] The present invention has been achieved in light of thesecircumstances, and provides an environment management system shared bythe industrial organization. By providing a standardized sharedenvironment management system for the industrial organization, itbecomes possible for each member company to build its own environmentmanagement system. Even if the member company cannot assign an internalauditor because of limitations of human resources, such member company,based on the common element of the environment management system, canconduct an internal audit review by utilizing an internal auditor whobelongs to the industrial organization and the implementation of theenvironment management system becomes easy. Further, by providing theshared standardized system, the industrial organization can grasp thecontent of the environment management system of each member company andcan give any instruction and guidance to each member company. Thestandardized shared environment management system makes it possible toimprove the level of environment management of each company as well asthe entire industry as a whole.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention will be described hereinafter with respectto its practical application. The present invention regarding a sharedenvironment management system for the industrial organization isoperated within the network that is composed of management companies,various management centers, and various member companies thatparticipate in the several management centers. The network will bedescribed mainly centered around the Internet; however, the network isnot limited to the Internet and may be restricted by a membership.Management Companies, various management centers and member companiesthat participates in management various management centers, actuallyform a network through the computers that respectively belong to eachorganization. Each computer includes, but not limited to, a centralprocessing unit, an internal storage device, an external storage device,an output device, an input device, a display device, and a communicationdevice.

[0022] A management company is provided with a management computer;management centers are provided with an organization computer; and amember company that participates in the said network is provided with acorporate computer. In addition, an audit computer is provided to eachor one of the management companies and/or each management center.Various management centers are connected to the management company andvarious member companies are connected to each of the managementcenters. Each management center is established for each industry or eachtype of the industry to which the management center belongs. The membercompanies participate in the management centers corresponding to eachindustry or each type of the industry to which the member companiesbelong. Various management centers can jointly form another level ofmanagement centers, and such management centers can belong to amanagement company by using a hierarchical structure.

[0023] The system covered by the present invention forms computernetworks. That is, the computer networks consist of four groups ofcomputers such as organization computers, member company computers,audit computers and management computers. Each organization computerstores both industrial organization's common data and member companies'individual data. This situation is shown in FIG. 2. As described above,the audit computer belongs to each of or one of the management companiesand/or management centers. The organization computer provides a web siteon the Internet. The web site is accessed (i) by the computer of eachmember company belonging to the management centers for its ownenvironment management system; (ii) by the management centers for aninternal audit; and (iii) by the computer of the management company thatmanages the standardized environment management system.

[0024] The main relationship among the management company, eachmanagement center, and each member company is as follows. The managementcompany cooperates with the management center in advance and provides astandardized shared environment management system to the organizationcomputer of relevant management centers, and thereby, builds anenvironment management system for each member company. The managementcompany provides the system, provides each member company educationaltraining related to system operation, and intends to improve theefficiency of the system operations. The 1 management center permitseach member company to build its own environment management system inthe organization computer in response to a subscription offer from suchmember company. The member company connects to the organization computerand builds its environment management system. At this stage, the membercompany may add regulatory items that are specific to the member companyor supplements environmental influence assessment items, if needed.

[0025] The member companies, from time to time, execute environmentmanagement by accessing the environment management system from its owncomputer that is equipped with environment management systemapplication. The member company is accessed by the audit computer of themanagement centers and thus, the environment management system of themember company is subject to an internal audit. In addition, theenvironment management system can accept an environmental audit reviewfrom the management company. The management center researches andanalyses the environment management system of each member company andclarifies points or issues that should be improved in the standardizedenvironment management system shared by the industrial organizationrelevant to the management center. The management company revises thestandardized environment management system shared by such industrialorganization based on the issues that were found through such researchand analysis.

[0026] Next, how to build the standardized environment management systemthat is shared by the industrial organization will be described. Themanagement center is provided by the management company an environmentmanagement system relevant to the industry to which the said managementcenter belongs, and builds a standardized shared environment managementsystem for the industrial organization. The management center inputsinto the system, as common data, a regulatory item list obtained byextracting regulations applicable to the industrial organizationrelevant to the management center, and stores such list in the storagedevice of the organization computer. At the same time, the managementcenter inputs into the system and stores, as common data, theenvironmental influence assessment sheet that lists and displays theenvironmental influence assessment items generally applicable to theindustrial organization relevant to such management center. FIG. 3illustrates one example of an environmental influence assessment sheet.

[0027] The building and operation of a certain member company'senvironment management system will be described, centered around, as anexample, a member company A. The member company A connects its computerto the organization computer and builds its environment managementsystem based on the standardized shared environment management systemfor the industrial organization. That is, the member company A inputsits own company information into the standardized shared environmentmanagement system for the industrial organization and registers its ownenvironment management system. The member company A opens the regulatorylist stored in the standardized shared environment management system forthe industrial organization, examines whether any regulatory item isapplicable to itself, and checks applicability of each item. Thisinformation is stored as regulatory list information on individualcompany data A. The member company A opens the environmental influenceassessment sheet stored in the standardized shared environmentmanagement system for the industry organization, examines environmentalinfluence assessment for the company A, and enters environmentalinfluence assessment items which should be added individually besidesthe general items. This information is stored as environmental influenceassessment sheet information for the individual company data A.

[0028] The member company A, from time to time, connects to theorganization computer from its computer using the environment managementsystem created, accesses its environment management system, and executesthe environment management. That is, the member company A inputsinformation on training conducted into its environment management systembased on the achievements of training. This information is stored as areport concerning training information on the individual company data A.The member company A enters minutes made when a meeting was held asinternal communication. This information is stored as minute'sinformation on the individual company data A.

[0029] The member company A may request the management center to conductan internal audit, and its environment management system is reviewed bymanagement center by the access from the audit computer of themanagement center. That is, the management center accesses theindividual company data A from the audit computer. The management centerdetermines whether the environment management system of the membercompany A is pertinent by way of referring to the regulatory listinformation, including, but not limited to, the environmental influenceassessment sheet information, the report concerning training informationand the minutes information on the member company A. The managementcenter inputs a conclusion of the audit report on the member company A'senvironment management system. This information is stored as auditreport information on the individual company data A.

[0030] The information collection, statistics, and analysis of theshared organization management system for the industrial organizationwill be described below. The management center collects performanceinformation (e.g., product volumes and raw material consumption volumes)on the environment management systems of member companies in theorganization computer and utilizes the information as a part ofindustrial statistics. That is, the management center analyses thecollected information, examines items to be improved, and givesinstruction or guidance to each member company. The management center,on behalf of the member company, interprets the application of newregulations and notifies the management company of its application.Further, the management center, from time to time, reviews theenvironmental influence assessment items, and notifies the managementcompany of the reviewed results.

[0031] The update of the shared environment management system for theindustrial organization will be described below. The management companyrevises the standardized environment management system for theindustrial organization in response to a request for improvement fromthe management center and updates the standardized environmentmanagement system for the industrial organization in the organizationcomputer. The management company updates and stores data in theorganization computer regarding the regulatory items and theenvironmental influence assessment sheet on the shared environmentmanagement system for the industrial organization by utilizing themanagement computer. The member company updates its own individual databased on the standardized shared environment management system for theindustrial organization.

[0032] Further, different various environment management systems thatmay vary depending upon each type of industries or each industry may bebuilt on the same web site as practical application of the presentinvention, and different and/or hierarchical levels of environmentmanagement systems may be built in accordance with hierarchies of theindustrial organizations. In addition, the internal audit may beconducted not only by the management center but also by the managementcompany using the management computer.

[0033] In FIGS. 4 and 5, the operation of the shared environmentmanagement system for the industrial organization is explained fromviewpoints of a management company, each management center, and eachmember company. The difference between FIGS. 4 and 5 is that themanagement company conducts an environmental audit in FIG. 5 and themanagement center conducts an environmental audit in FIG. 4.

[0034] The operation of the shared environment management system for theindustrial organization covered by the present invention will bedescribed from the viewpoint of the management company as follows.Within the network, which is composed of the management company, variousmanagement centers, and various member companies that participate in theseveral management centers, the management company provides the sharedenvironment management system for the industrial organization to eachmanagement center. The management company receives the results of newapplicable regulatory items reviewed and environmental influenceassessment items from each management center, and update the sharedenvironment management system for the industrial organization based onthe received results. Thus, the management company provides the updatedshared environment management system for the industrial organization toeach management center. In addition, the management company conducts anenvironmental audit of each member company in response to a request fromthe member company or an instruction from each management center. Themanagement company provides the member company training related to theshared environment management system for the industrial organization, asneeded or upon request so as to improve the level of the systemoperations. The training is targeted at each management center and eachmember company.

[0035] The operation of the shared environment management system for theindustrial organization covered by the present invention from theviewpoint of each member companies has already been mentioned above.

[0036] Next, the operation of the shared environment management systemfor the industrial organization covered by the present invention fromthe viewpoint of each management center will be described below. Withinthe network, which is composed of a management company, variousmanagement centers, and various member companies that participate in theseveral management centers, each management center receives the sharedenvironment management system for the industrial organization from themanagement company. The management center registers regulationsapplicable and common to the organizations within each type of industryor each industry, and also registers the environmental influenceassessment sheet generally applicable to the industrial organizationrelevant to such management centers. The registered generally applicableregulations and the common environmental influence assessment sheet arestored. Consequently, the shared environment management system for theindustrial organization is provided to each member company.

[0037] The member company checks the regulatory items specificallyapplied to it in relation to and based on the shared environmentmanagement system for the industrial organization provided, and addsenvironmental influence assessment items. The management center receivesfrom the member company the results of the applicable regulatory itemsand the additional environmental influence assessment items that werechecked and added by the member company. In addition, the managementcenter receives results of the environment management executed by themember company. Specifically, the management center receives documentsincluding, but not limited to, the report related to education/trainingconducted, the minutes that are prepared by the member company. Themanagement center also conducts an environmental audit of the membercompany. The environmental audit includes the determination ofcompatibility of various documents of the member companies and thepreparation of an audit report based on the determination. Themanagement center notifies the member company of the audit report. Thisenvironmental audit can be conducted by the management company.

[0038] The management center collects performances of the membercompanies and analyses them. If new items are found, the managementcenter gives instructions or guidance to the member company in relationto the environment management based on collection and analysis ofperformance. The management center monitors new regulations. If a newregulation is established, the management center promptly interprets thecontent of the new regulation and notifies the management company of anew regulatory item that it is present to the application. Likewise, inrelation to the new regulation, the management center reviews theenvironmental influence assessment items and notifies the managementcompany of the reviewed results. At the same time, the management centermay instruct the management company to correct and update the sharedenvironment management system for the industrial organization. Themanagement company corrects and updates the shared environmentmanagement system for industrial organization based on the applicationof the new regulation and the reviewed results of the environmentalinfluence assessment items.

[0039] The present invention can be characterized by the fact that evena small or medium company having insufficient management resources suchas staff and funds can obtain an environment management system that isequivalent to the one that is utilized by a larger company that may havesufficient management resources. That is, the present invention providesa standardized organizational environment management system that will beutilized to create a shared environment management system for each typeof industry or each industry. As a result, each member company can buildits own environment management system based on the standardizedenvironment management system for the industrial organization. Even ifthe member company cannot assign an internal auditor due to thelimitations of human resources, an internal audit can be conducted by anauditor who belongs to the management center, because there is a commonelement of the standardized shared environment management system for theindustrial organization. Furthermore, since the present invention has amechanism in which each management center can interpret the content ofthe environment management system of each member company, the managementcenter, from time to time, can give instructions or guidance to eachmember company and this leads to the improvement of the level of theentire industry. Even a small or medium company can easily build its ownenvironment management system to the certain level at low cost, and thelevel of the entire industry to which the small or medium companybelongs is eventually improved, accordingly.
